Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service commissioned an integrated consultant team for the modernisation of Bishop Street Courthouse in Derry/Londonderry. The work covers developing the project brief and design solutions for refurbishment, reconfiguration and a potential extension of the Grade A listed courthouse, which is within a conservation area. The requirement is for construction project management and associated multidisciplinary consultancy services, including project management, architecture, structural engineering, building services engineering and quantity surveying. The service is delivered for the courthouse in Derry/Londonderry, with the buyer based in Belfast. The procurement concerns professional services rather than construction works, and requires a coordinated team able to address the building’s listed status and conservation-area context.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure. One lot was used. The award was made on 25 August 2026 to Security Contract - Details Withheld, with an award value of £1,152,050. The signed contract is active and has the same value; the published contract record gives no end date, while the tendered contract duration was 2,880 days. The original estimated lot value was £1,900,000. Evaluation was based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. The process used a two-stage selection, with five candidates invited to tender. Four bids were received, all electronically, including one from an SME and one from outside the EU. English was the submission language.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service for multidisciplinary teams capable of managing complex heritage refurbishment projects. A credible competitor would need relevant experience across project management, architecture, structural engineering, building services engineering and quantity surveying, with suitable accreditations, licences or certificates for the required categories and sectors. The team would also need to show effective organisation, programming, delivery and management methods, supported by appropriate experience among both key and wider team members. The requirement favours suppliers able to coordinate design development for a listed public building in a conservation area, manage potential reconfiguration and extension, and demonstrate disciplined delivery against demanding public-sector performance expectations.
